Luggage Storage at Westfield Shopping Centres

Costs — Westfield Stratford City £3 for a coat, up to 4 hours — £5 (any bag size) 1 day — £10 per bag

Bag Storage London at Museums and Stadiums

It is sometimes possible to leave bags with museums or galleries. This can be for free or for a small charge. However these services are only intended to store your bags during your visit in the venue and you will likely be refused if you try to use these services as a left-luggage service.

The British Museum has a cloakroom where you can leave small bags of up to 8kg. It costs £2.50 for bags up to 4kg and £5 for anything above that. Please note that when maximum cloakroom capacity is reached the Museum cannot accept any more item, so you may be turned away.

Due to safety measures, there are no bags allowed into the stadiums. There are no luggage storage options at Wembley Stadium as well as Twickenham Stadium but we have conveniently located StashPoints within a 5 minute walk.

Greenwich Tourist Information Centre

You can find bag storage facilities at the Tourist Information Centre in Greenwich.

Costs: Up to 3 hours — £5 per item; Up to 24 hours — £8 per bag and £10 per item for each additional 24-hour period. Open seven days a week, 10am-5pm.

Self-Storage

This is only recommended for visitors looking to store several bags for longer periods. Some self-storage facilities offer a pay-by-the-week scheme but most will offer by the month prices. Typically, prices are obtained on a quote per square foot/metre basis, making it difficult to compare prices (and to work out how much you’ll be able to fit into the available space). Facilities are often outside of central London, so travelling there and back can eaten into any savings!

Where to go and what to see

A great solution if you’re pressed for money and time but still want to make the most out of your trip to London is the London Pass. It gives you free access to more than 80 top landmarks and attractions, such as Buckingham Palace, Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, London Zoo etc., and includes an Oyster Travelcard.

Make sure to visit the colourful Portobello Market, open on Saturdays, and wander around its antique stores looking for trinkets, vintage Burberry coats, and jewellery pieces. Don’t forget to snap a picture of the famous door where Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant met!

One of the best way to get your fill of London landmarks is to sling a camera around your neck and take a stroll along the river Thames. Start from the top of the London Eye, walk along the South Bank, marvel at the Tate Modern, take a look at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, and admire the Instagram famous view of St Paul’s Cathedral from the Millennium Bridge. If your legs can take it, make your way down to Tower Bridge and cross over to see the Tower of London, where the Crown’s raven reside.

If you want to go where the locals dwell, pay a visit to the edgy and hipster Shoreditch, the epicentre of all things young and trendy with its independent cafes and Banksy style graffiti; or swing by classy Kensington and Chelsea for a chance to spot a movie star.

London can be expensive, so take advantage of the free museums and galleries. The must see are the British Museum, with one of the largest permanent Egyptian collections in the world, the Natural History Museum and the National Portrait Gallery.

Tired of the hustle and bustle of the city? Time to take a break in one of London’s many parks. Feed the friendly squirrels at Hyde Park; see where the hemispheres meet at Greenwich; or head to Primrose Hill to enjoy a beer with friends while admiring the breath-taking view of London’s skyline.

Shopping

Shop till you drop at Oxford Street and Piccadilly Circus, residences of all the high street favourites, such as H&M, Primark, and River Island; while Carnaby Street is lined with alternative brands and independent boutiques, including Barbour Heritage and Urban Decay.

For London shopping at its most decadent, head to Knightsbridge, where you’ll find luxury stores such as Harrods and Harvey Nichols.

Eating & Drinking out

From Michelin starred restaurants to food markets, London has something for everyone. Famous markets include Borough Market, with its fresh produce and more than a 100 food stalls, and Spitalfields, famous for its award-winning cafes and restaurants. The Curry Mile in Brick Lane it’s the top spot for eating authentic Bangladeshi cuisine and bagels; while Chinatown next to Leicester Square offers mouth watering dim sum and roast duck.

For the ones in search of a quintessential British meal, go for a fry up, a traditional English breakfast, or treat yourself to a Sunday roast at one of the countless pubs along the river.
